Silk will follow a woman named Cindy Moon who gains powers and abilities while searching for her missing family after being bitten by the same type of spider that started Peter Parker on his journey. From 2018’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and the upcoming sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord will act as showrunner and executive producer, respectively.

So Many Spider-Men to Choose From

While Sony will obviously get a feel from the crowd when the multiversal Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, releases in February 2024, Spider-Man fans worldwide are dying to know what other characters could be swinging onto Prime Video soon enough.

From Allies to Enemies and Everything in Between

     Columbia Pictures

With Columbia Pictures in conjunction with Sony and Marvel (Marvel is presently being bought out), a feature film revolving around Silver Sable and Black Cat called Silver and Black was first discussed in both 2009 and then again in 2018. With both female leads always treading the line between ally, enemy, and romantic partner when it comes to their relationship with Spider-Man, the idea of seeing them in a movie together would have been a phenomenal sight for fans of the wall-crawler.

Rhino and Sandman are two of the most classic villains when it comes to Spider-Man’s historical runs, whether in comic books or movies. In print, Rhino debuted over 50 years ago in 1966, and Sandman premiered ten years earlier in Amazing Spider-Man #4. On the big screen, Rhino was featured at the end of Amazing Spider-Man 2 and was planned to star in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 before ultimately being canceled. Sandman, on the other hand, was featured in Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 in 2007 and then again in Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021.

Interestingly enough, back in November of that year, reports were circulating that Sony was in the process of making solo movies for these two antagonists. Unfortunately, nothing has seemed to come out of that endeavor since the initial buzz, but if there were any progress made on their individual stories, the best bet for Sony would be to repackage the movie script into one more suitable for an episodic series instead.

Staying with the ongoing theme of villains from the Spider-Verse, Sony Pictures Television might just opt for a more modern Spider-Man-related property to highlight and pluck The Inheritors, a family of supernatural immortal vampires that made their debut in Superior Spider-Man #33, which was released in November 2014. Given a dire warning about the future, this clan of eight now hunts and kills Spider-Men through every dimension that they can get to. Do not let their gothic, almost medieval look fool you. In the twenty-four comic book issues that The Inheritors appear in, there are over forty deaths in the Spider army.

As you can probably tell, this war between this formidable clan of hunters and Spider-Man variants would be a pivotal chapter for Sony’s Spider-Verse at some point in time, and showing The Inheritors’ rise to power through their own miniseries would make a much-needed complement to the inevitable face off.

After Silk: Spider Society comes and goes, there are many possibilities about which characters Sony chooses to feature next using their new partnership with Prime Video. From revitalizing productions once canceled to re-energizing legendary villains to planting the seeds towards an Avengers: Endgame style event for the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man fans surely can’t wait to see who is web-swinging into the spotlight next.
